Jurisdiction Clarified for Deer Road Kills (Harrisburg, PA) -- State Game Warden Brad Kreider wants drivers to be aware of the rules for who is responsible for removing road-killed deer. The duty is shared by the state department of transportation and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Some state roads are covered by a contract between PennDOT and a private vendor and can be contacted through county offices. All non-state roads are covered by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. State Farm reports that Pennsylvania is the number one state for vehicle collisions with animals - most of those are collisions with deer.
